Baby delivered prematurely from brain-dead woman on life support in Georgia

A Georgia woman, Adriana Smith, declared brain-dead in February, delivered a premature baby, Chance, via emergency C-section. Smith, who was six months pregnant, had been kept on life support due to Georgia's abortion law. The baby, weighing 1 pound 13 ounces, is in the NICU. The family was told they couldn't remove life support before delivery, though the Attorney General stated the law doesn't mandate this. Smith will be taken off life support Tuesday. Her family is grieving while hoping for Chance's survival.
